No record of any marriage to 1905 in WA records > Can anybody tell me please whether there are searchable lists of settlers entering Australia. There certainly are . Before c 1924 such were a State function so if anyone arrived in Sydney NSW , Melbourne, Victoria then records would be kept in that State. There are indexes to assisted migrant arrivals to both states on line . Victoria also had some unassisted indexes on line There are some passenger arrivals to Western Australia but only for around 1910/1 The Western Australian Genealogical Society has recently published a CD of passenger arrivals from abt 1895. I dont have access to this yet bye Marg Morters Member of Central Coast Family History Society GOSFORD NSW Australia
